We’ve got a lot of exciting plans in the works and we hope you’ll be able to join us – turn to page 5 for the full details.If that wasn’t enough, from the end of November onwards Tabletop Gaming will become a monthly magazine, putting the finest coverage of analogue gaming in the world into your hands every 30-or-so days. The first monthly issue will be out on November 30th, and can now be found in more shops than ever before in the UK, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, WHSmith, hobby stores and more!
